Thanks! Yeah I think I may just spring for the L-0 since I probably won't see that color for a while. The I remember the derbies being ridiculously stiff so they may take longer to get used to anyway. Black laces sound sick, but I really like that pale/cold grey!

Yeah, my thought as well. The designer of Vadel is ex-wjk, which was founded by Jun Hashimoto, who is ex-Carpe, and ... man, there's a really convoluted relationship chart just waiting to be drawn, here.
